vape gurgling sound

[sealover1]

what's the best way to deal with that vape gurgling sound you sometimes get? seem to get it a lot. it sometimes clears on its own but can go on for ages.

I did watch this vid on you tube      is this the best or only way as its doing my arm in (got frozen shoulders shaking them hurts)

here what I'm using now

If you get gurgling on a nautilus it's often because it needs more power. They work best around 13-15 watts

Mine gurgles if I drop the power to low on mine

[phatfil]

the chap in the vid is on the ball when he talks about the cause being a sort of siphon effect, whit a tight draw on an atomiser your creating a negative pressure in the vapour chamber, this sucks in more juice which leads to a gurgle as the coil gets flooded. a full tank helps as the liquid resists the pressure change better than the air on top of a partially full tank. (air is more susceptible to expansion and contraction than a liquid hence the use of hydraulics so effectively)

using protanks i suffered from a lot of gurgle till i started to use aero bases which allowed me to open up the air into the vapour chamber reducing
the tightness of the draw and therefore reducing the suck on the tank liquid, and eliminating the gurgle problem.

I am now using atty's like the lemo2 which you can open up the air intake so its a smooth draw with minimal suck needed which negates the problem of gurgling completely


if you like your current atty's and dont want to buy new ones perhaps look at drilling them to open up the air intake..

Open the airflow and up the power. Depending on the heads you use anywhere between 10 and 15 Watts.

Iclear30, you're never going to get the best vape ever from them sealover1 . . . there are better systems available.

Looks like a Iclear30 to me with that horrible drip tip arrangement . More wine deffo needed flavourtank.

I cant up the power cuz it was making my throat flemmy I was told to keep it low so at the moment I got the settings on 10-12.5 and that's about 4-5v my throat does seem to be getting used to it slowly though so might be able to bump the power up in time

how can or do I open up the airflow its got holes around the lower part of the tank which I got on the largest hole is that what your talking about??

what mg are you on? If you want to up power try lowering your mg. Also a more vg ratio liquid might help.

Yes your correct the holes round bottom are airflow so you have it wide open

The thing I've noticed with a lot of customers that come in and complain about gurgling clearos, is that they are drawing on it too hard, so pulling the juice through quicker than the coil can vapourise it.

Try taking much longer, slower pulls, it usually helps

this is sooo common with new vapers, they want to drag on it like it's a fag and more often than not flood the coil...

not enough power i.e. is wicking well = gurgling, too much power, and not enough wicking = burnt taste, you have to find what they call the sweet spot where neither happens.

+1 to this!

The BVC coils (has anyone noticed how easy it is to type BVC)... BVC BVC BVC BVC (go on, try it)

anyway.... the BVC coils are designed to wick at the best power for the coil. If I vape at 12 watts, then they get soggy, unless I use heavy VG juice.

If I look on my iStick (the dodgy 20w v.1) it says 12 watts, but we all know it's more like 15,000 watts.

12 watts on the iStick 30w and "welcome, Mr Gurggle"

What I remember from using a Nautilus.

Don't overtighten the heads into the base, can split the oring on them. Just screw them in until they meet the base then ¹/2 a turn more at the most.
Check the silicons top and bottom of the glass for splits or chewing.
When you fill it FILL it. Juice it all the way to the top of the chimney - that would be the bottom the right way up.
Once assembled vape like crazy for a bit - these tanks rely on a vacuum to hold the juice in the tank so you need to build that up.
Plenty of airflow,
8-12 watts with the single bottom coils, 10-13 with the dual coils, 13-15watts with the BVCs.
Long and slow draws (as already mentioned by lairey)

If you still have problems check the seals again - or you could have a bad batch of coils (it happens)
